Bananas Foster Cinnamon Crescent Rolls
I don’t know if it’s because I have fall on the brain or what, but I have been in a baking mood lately. Last week, I made these yummy cinnamon and banana crescent rolls from this recipe I found on Outoftheboxbaking.com and they were so good that I wanted to share with you.
We had two super ripe bananas that were so ripe, in fact, that I put them in the fridge before we left for the beach so they wouldn’t get more rotten. They were just fine by the time I baked with them, though, so it all worked out. I luckily had all the other ingredients (don’t you love when that happens?) and didn’t have to purchase anything extra, so it made the entire recipe even easier.
Here’s what you’re going to need:
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons salted butter
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1 package crescent rolls
2 over ripe bananas
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tablespoon milk
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (not pictured)
flour for dusting
Directions:
Mash up your bananas in a small bowl. Set aside.
Place the butter in a medium sized skilled and bring it to a simmer.
Add the brown sugar and simmer for a couple of minutes until incorporated.
Add the bananas to the mixture on the stove. Mix well.
Open your crescent rolls. Place on a floured surface (waxed paper is perfect) and add a tiny bit of dusting flour on top.
Using a rolling pin, thin down the crescent rolls, enlarging your rectangle slightly. (Don't roll too thin, just enough to enlarge it about an inch on every side.)
Now it's time to take your filling and add it to the crescent roll. Spread evenly.
It's time to roll! This is when your waxed paper comes in handy. Use it as a guide to roll the mixture up.
Cut in half. Then cut each half in half. And then cut those pieces in half. You'll end up with 8 cinnamon rolls total.
Grease a muffin tin. Carefully wedge the cinnamons rolls into the individual muffin cups.
You might want to lift each one with a fork.
Place muffin tin in a preheated oven and bake for 18 minutes or until golden brown.
Remove from oven and place on a wire cooling rack.
Put the powdered sugar, milk, and cinnamon into a small bowl and stir until smooth.
Remove the cinnamon rolls from the pan and drizzle cinnamon glaze over the top.
Enjoy!
